On Wednesday’s Backchat, we’ll discuss the dark side of Hong Kong housing issues: subdivided flats. Subdivided flats in Hong Kong are often extremely cramped, with families living in spaces as small as a few square meters.
Poor ventilation, inadequate natural light, and shared facilities can lead to poor mental and physical health. However, for some people sometimes, subdivided flats might be the only viable option for people who need them in the city. So, are subdivided flats necessary for urban development, and can transitional housing be the solution?
